  1. Windows 10 Edge opens dozens of tabs


    I decided to try out Windows 10 Edge. There is a lot about it that I like. However, every time I click on any link, it opens in a new tab. This quickly results in large numbers of tabs being open making Edge very crowded and clunky to use. I looked through all the settings and I can not find a setting for "open links in same/new tab". This is a basic setting in other browsers that I have tried. How do I change this setting in Windows 10 Edge?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10

    Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10.

    Somehow my system got infected with some malware. Due to which Edge was opening random ads in new tabs with any click on any site. After some efforts I cleaned the malware, but the malware seem to have broken edge; some edge files also got cleaned out.

    Now while opening opening blue screen comes fine, just a quick flash of Edge window comes but without showing anything or allowing to do anything closes itself.

    I couldn't uninstall and re-install as Edge doesn't show in programs list.

    I also tried following steps as suggested by the Microsoft Virtual support agent, No issues came up with that and nothing got resolved.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
    • In the Administrator Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Windows 10 Edge opens dozens of tabs

    Edge opens with old tabs

    Must of happened after the last update, maybe.
    I'll have 2 or 3 tabs open.
    I red X and get the "Do you want to close all tabs?"
    Close all and everything closes.

    Reopen Edge and I have the same tabs open.
    I've restored Edge to defaults.

    In "Open Microsoft Edge with" I have:

    "A specific page or pages"
    Google"

    Open new tabs with
    "Top sites and suggested content"

    My laptop has exactly the same settings without the problem.
    Weird
